Early mathematics assessment: validation of the short form of a prekindergarten and kindergarten mathematics measure (2012, methodology): “First, the US children do not fare well in mathematics in international comparisons and gaps may begin in prekindergarten (Ginsburg et al., 2008; Sarama & Clements, 2009).”
Beliefs and Attitudes in Mathematics Education: New Research Results (2009, background): “…even the most basic parts of the geometry curriculum in the kindergartens, such as the recognition of examples and non-examples of triangles, is too often reduced to presenting only prototypical examples of triangles (Table 1, Cell 1) and prototypical examples of squares (Clements & Sarama, 2007).”
Accuracy of Teacher Judgments of Preschoolers’ Math Skills (2012, background): “…programs because it indicates that teachers need to be better able to appropriately recognize and understand demonstrations of children’s math skills and also have a stronger understanding of children’s learning trajectories in mathematics (Clements & Sarama, 2009; Sarama & Clements, 2009).”
Mathematics Education for Young Children: What It is and How to Promote It (2008, background): “Over the last 25 years or so, researchers have accumulated a wealth of evidence (Baroody, Lai, & Mix, 2006; Clements & Serama, 2007; Ginsburg, Cannon, Eisenband, & Pappas, 2006) showing that nearly from birth to age 5, young children develop an everyday mathematics—including informal ideas of more…”
Playing around in school: Implications for learning and educational policy. (2010, background): “A plethora of research demonstrates that early mathematical thinking undergoes substantial development during the preschool and primary years (see Clements & Sarama, 2007).”
Longitudinal Evaluation of a Scale-Up Model for Teaching Mathematics With Trajectories and Technologies (2012, methodology): “They also received access to the Building Blocks software (Clements & Sarama, 2007a), which follows the learning trajectories through the primary grades and is the same suite that the students had used in pre-K.”
Executive Function Skills, Early Mathematics, and Vocabulary in Head Start Preschool Children (2017, background): “Similar to developmental changes that occur in young children’s mathematical knowledge (Clements & Sarama, 2007), there is evidence to support that these three EF processes undergo specific age-related changes in young children (Zelazo et al., 2008).”
Reducing the gap in numerical knowledge between low- and middle-income preschoolers (2011, background): “…early and later mathematical knowledge is one factor that has led to calls for improving early childhood mathematics education by both researchers (Clements & Sarama, 2007; Ginsburg, Lee, & Boyd, 2008; Griffin, 2007; Starkey, Klein, & Wakeley, 2004) and national commissions (National Council of…”
Multiple solution methods and multiple outcomes—is it a task for kindergarten children? (2010, background): “Clements and Sarama (2007) stated that “young children are impressive problem solvers” (p.”
